Ginty Comes Home To Cumulus
• UPDATED: Cumulus Media has appointed Jason Ginty as Program Director of WZRH (Alt 92.3) and WRKN (NASH Icon 106.1)/New Orleans and Classic Hits WRQQ/Baton Rouge, LA. Ginty has been in the New Orleans market in one form or another since 1996, and spent the past seven years in middays on Audacy Classic Rock WKBU/New Orleans.
The new gig marks a return to Cumulus — and to WRKN — for Ginty, who programmed the station from 2010-2013 during its Rock days. Ginty earlier programmed Hot AC WDVW and Oldies WMIT/New Orleans and KRDJ/Lafayette, LA.
Pat Galloway, RVP/Market Manager, Cumulus New Orleans-Baton Rouge, said, “I’ve known Jason for a long time, and he has had years of success in New Orleans radio. Jason is a great fit for this opportunity and will bring the knowledge and passion needed for these three stations to continue to thrive and grow.”
Ginty commented, “It’s great to be back in the Cumulus family! I’m excited to work with Doug Hamand, Troy Hanson, Val Garris and James Kurdziel on these incredible stations. Pat Galloway and I have worked in the New Orleans market for years but never at the same company. Can’t wait to finally work with him and the entire New Orleans and Baton Rouge teams!”
• Ginty succeeds Brad Steiner, who in late March joined Audacy New York as Regional Brand Manager, supporting the execution of programming, music and branding for Audacy ALT trio WNYL (ALT 92.3)/New York, WDZH (ALT 98.7)/Detroit and WSFS (104.3 The Shark)/Miami.
